not bad , but you should try to put that vetex up closer to the mixer that way you dont have to turn down to cue the record,move that cdj out of there and use both them tables togther.

cool though keep it up.

I don't use two turntables enough to justify keeping that one out all of the time, so no major rearrangements required.

My back was killing me though after messing around with it like that for a while.

i love my handy trax... mine is black though. i like the little slip mat you have for it... did you trim that one down to size or buy it like that?

those are limited editions at least they were supposed to be, we had options to get some a few yrs back, but we were not financially stable...not that we are still.

If you look at the window seal I have custom made 7" mat -- but I don't like it. I cut up a Technics mat and used it instead with some wax paper underneath.

The problem with the custom mat is that it has this small 45 adapter sewed into it, which is cool in some respects -- but it doesn't work out well if you backcue or scratch on the Handy Trax. I don't do this often with it, but when I'm out digging it's common for me to spin something back to cue a record up.

i feel you about cueing records up... as of now i just have a full size slipmat and waxpaper on my handy trax, but whenever i spin i have to take it off to put on my techs... i'll keep an eye out for those small ones next time i go to turntablelab for sure.

anyways, kick ass man i love your videos
